lpv:translated text	"Madam President, in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, the European Union needs to learn from past mistakes and not to apply double standards in its policies. It has quite rightly proposed that control over respect for human rights and democratisation in third-country actions should be at the heart of its foreign policy. However, it should not turn a blind eye when, within the European Union itself, there are countries, such as Cyprus, where human rights are being infringed by the occupying Turkish forces with impunity. The European Union should impose clauses protecting and applying human rights in all its trade and sectoral agreements with third countries. It should impose sanctions in order to eliminate discrimination against women and minorities. It should put a stop to the persecution of parliamentarians, trade union activists and journalists in Turkey. It should combat impunity by making use of the International Criminal Court. It should use education to build a real culture of respect for human rights. Finally, it should strengthen the role of Parliament, accountability and transparency and find effective mechanisms for applying human rights everywhere."@en1
